Draft WSIS+10 Vision for WSIS Beyond 2015
ะก2. Information and communication infrastructure
1.
Vision
Infrastructure is the cornerstone and the most important aspect in achieving goals such as
digital inclusion, enabling universal, sustainable, ubiquitous and affordable access to ICTs
by all, taking into account relevant experiences from developing countries and countries
with economies in transition. Provide sustainable connectivity and access to rural, remote
and marginalized areas at national and regional levels, Broadband connection based on
converged services and enhanced radio frequency spectrum and orbit management
supported by efficient backbone, new technologies, innovative policies, national broadband
plans based on reliable data, and international standardization are the keys for such
achievement.

Pillars
a) To enhance the coverage, quality, and affordability of Broadband telecommunication
networks, infrastructure development utilizing converged services, enhanced frequency
spectrum management, and both wired and wireless technologies are essential.
b) Develop a well-planned, well-maintained, robust, economic, and efficient Broadband
infrastructure to ensure the delivery of high quality services, including Internet and
access to affordable information and technologies for citizens, ensuring minimum speed,
signal and connectivity stability, non-discrimination of legal content/traffic and reliable
customer services
c) Promote IXPs as tools to improve quality, to increase local, regional and international
Internet connectivity and resilience, and to reduce the costs of such connectivity in the
network infrastructure, as well as foster public policies and exchange of technical expertise
on these issues.
d) Increase research and development, and deployment of new technologies, to provide
reliable and affordable information and communication infrastructure.
e) Utilize policy and financing mechanisms such as Universal Service Funds and/or Public
Private Partnership, to connect and cover rural and remote areas with affordable
Broadband information and communication infrastructure.
f) To attract private investment, competition and market liberalization policies, financing,
and new business models need to be studied and deployed, bearing in mind that market
solutions may not always result in the rollout of sufficient infrastructure
g) Policies, technologies, and actions, such as connecting public facilities and encouraging
the usage of multi-/sign- language, need to be considered to ensure minorities,
disadvantaged, aged, and persons with impairments are connected to Broadband
telecommunication networks..
h) Planning and actions based on proper and reliable data related to information and
communication infrastructure are essential, keeing in mind the protection of privacy .
i) To develop affordable network/consumer telecommunications equipment, access and
services by economy of scale, development, and conformity and interoperability, by
international standards are key elements.
[Affordable should be understood as aligned with the user’s disposable income.]
[Affordable should be understood in relation to the user’s disposable income.]
i) Emergency telecommunication services should be secured.
j) [Identify the main difficulties that the digital economy poses for the application of
existing international tax rules and develop detailed options to address these difficulties.]
